DRESDEN, Germany: The trial of a man who fatally stabbed a pregnant Egyptian woman in a German courtroom is expected to begin in late October. The regional court in Dresden said in a statement Thursday that Oct. 26 has been chosen as the start date, to be finalized next week. A 28-year-old Russian-born German identified only as Alex W. is facing charges of murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm for fatally stabbing Marwa El-Sherbini in July. He wounded her husband in the same attack. Prosecutors say he was motivated by hate for non-Europeans and Muslims. Al-Sherbini was at the Dresden courtroom to testify against Alex W after filing a complaint against him accusing him of insulting her with racial slurs. Her killing caused outrage in Egypt and beyond. -AP
